People select news in expectation of a reward. This reward may be either of two kinds. One isrelated to what Freud calls the Pleasure Principle， the other to what he calls the Reality Principle.
For want of better names， we shall call these two classes immediate reward and delayed reward.
In general， the kind of news which may be expected to give immediate reward are news ofcrime and corruption， accidents and disasters， sports， social events， and human interest. Delayedreward may be expected from news of public affairs， economic matters， social problems， science，
education， and health.
News of the first kind pays its rewards at once. A reader can enjoy an indirect experiencewithout any of the dangers or stresses involved. He can tremble wildly at an axe-murder， shake his head sympathetically and safely at a hurricane， identify himself with the winning team， laughunderstandingly at a warm little story of children or dogs.
News of the second kind， however， pays its rewards later. It sometimes requires the reader totolerate unpleasantness or annoyance — as， for example， when he reads of the threatening foreignituation， the mounting national debt， rising taxes， falling market， scarce housing， and cancer. It has a kind of “threat value.” It is read so that the reader may be informed and prepared. When a reader selects delayed reward news， he pulls himself into the world of surrounding reality to which he can adapt himself only by hard work. When he selects news of the other kind， he usually withdraws from the world of threatening reality toward the dream world.
For any individual， of course， the boundaries of these two classes are not stable. For example， asociologist may read news of crime as a social problem， rather than for its immediate reward. Acoach may read a sports story for its threat value: he may have to play that team next week. Apolitician may read an account of his latest successful public meeting， not for its delayed reward， but very much as his wife reads an account of a party. In any given story of corruption or disaster， a thoughtful reader may receive not only the immediate reward of indirect experience， but also the
delayed reward of information and preparedness. Therefore， while the division of categories holds in general， an individual’s tendency may transfer any story from one kind of reading to another， or
divide the experience between the two kinds of reward.

Just as the trends of the 1980s were difficult to predict, so, too, are the forces that will drive the industry in the 1990s. But by looking at the trends of today, people are able to predict what the industry may look like in the new decade.
Hardware will become a commodity while software and service will account for a greater share of computer companies' revenue, say market watchers. And growth in sales of special systems will come to a halt in the '90s.
As more computer systems are based on such emerging standards as the Unix operating system, customers can pick and choose the best components from different vendors rather than relying on one supplier for complete computer systems. That will accelerate demand for service--rather than products--from vendors. It's the service, the support and the software that add all the value. The move to distributed computers linked by local area networks is increasingly becoming an alternative to centralized computers. A survey of 50 Fortune 1000 companies found that 72 per cent were replacing their minicomputers with personal computer networks. Some trends in the peripherals (外部设备) arena in the next decade are obvious--smaller, quicker, more features. But manufacturers of monitors, printers and disk drives will be looking beyond the computer industry toward future markets that hold vast sales potential.
The automobile industry, for example, holds promise for peripherals vendors. It's very likely in the next five to ten years we'll see vehicles targeted at business executives with printers and fax (传真) machine capabilities built in.
The main idea of the passage is about ______.
A．the trends of the 1990s in computer industry
B．the accelerating demands for software and service
C．computers industry's close link with auto-industry
D．the trends in the peripherals arena in the next decade

What Kinds of Food Do People Need？
Scientists have learned a great deal about the kinds of food people need. They say that there are several kinds of food people should eat every day. What are these classes of food？ They are 1) green vegetables of all kinds, such as string beans, peas, lettuces, and cabbages; 2) fruits such as apples, peaches and bananas; 3) other vegetables, examples of these are beets, onions, carrots, tomatoes and so on; 4) meat of all kinds, fish and eggs; 5) milk and food made from milk, such as butter, cheese and ice cream; 6) bread or cereal. Rice is also in this class of food.
People in different countries and different areas of the world eat different kinds of things. Scientists say that none of these differences are really important. It doesn't matter whether food is eaten raw or cooked, canned or frozen. It doesn't matter if a person eats dinner at 4 o'clock in the afternoon or at 11 o'clock at night. The important thing, they say, is that every day a person should eat something from each of these kinds of food.
There are two problems, then, in feeding the ever-increasing number of people on earth. The first is to find some way to feed the world population so that no one is hungry. The second is to make sure that people everywhere have the right kinds of food to make them grow to be strong and healthy.
